i'm not handwashing my devoa jeans every other day because of salt stains and black snow. fuck that shit! beater bottoms are the way to go during the winter. i've been wearing my crappy ass daytons exclusively over the winter...

well, it's also because i've been too lazy to get my carpes vibramed, but i'm not wearing those with all the salt new yorkers use on their streets!

oversized drop should coats you say? even geller is doing fuller cuts and drop shoulder, from fw15

Geller, Duckie Brown, Public School, Billy Reid, Ervell, General Idea -- they all showed baggier stuff like oversized coats and lots of non-skinny pants (meaning not skinny throughout like the Hedi fit. And there were lots of pleats too). If the cycle is that the main ideas originate in Paris and then trickle down to NYC which is more mainstream then there's clearly something going on here.

But again, don't think skinny will disappear anytime soon and you'll probably just see a bigger mix of proportions.

Speaking of boring basic shit, I need a new grey crewneck after my 3-year old Sunspel crapped out (neck ribbing tore away from the body). I like the sunspel, but the size of the inset V always bugged me (it's tiny) and the fact it only lasted ~3 years is kind of lame.

Anybody good good recs? Looking to spend around the same ~150, relatively "slim" like the sunspel (basically just not real loose, which rules out most of the repro brands) and has the V at the neck.
